Experimentally Validated Added Mass Identification Algorithm Based on Frequency Response Functions
Publication: Journal of Engineering Mechanics
Volume 130, Issue 9
Abstract
A methodology is presented for detecting added mass in structural systems maintaining a linear response. A single frequency response function measured at several frequencies along with a correlated analytical model of the structure in its original state are used to detect and quantify the added mass. A computationally efficient method of recalculating a single frequency response function is utilized in the identification algorithm. Experimental results from a frame structure are presented to validate and assess the proposed approach.
